The flavors and textures in this Grilled Pork Chop Salad with Nectarines and Avocado go so well together. A tasty and refreshing salad is made with grilled pork chops that are soft, sweet nectarines, creamy avocados, and a tangy balsamic dressing.
Ingredients: 4 boneless pork chops. 2 nectarines, sliced. 2 avocados, sliced. 8 cups mixed salad greens. 1/4 cup olive oil. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. 1 clove garlic, minced. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese. 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
Instructions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced nectarines, and sliced avocados. Slice the grilled pork chops into thin strips and add them to the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Sprinkle the chopped basil, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pecans over the top of the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!
